Overview

2023 Toyota Supra

The 2023 Toyota Supra presents a compelling package for driving enthusiasts, blending sharp handling with potent performance. However, used-car shoppers should approach with informed caution. While Toyota's reputation for reliability generally precedes it, the Supra's specific data reveals significant concerns. The most pressing issue involves the electronic parking brake, which has been cited for unintentional release, posing a rollaway risk. A single, though severe, wheel separation incident was also reported. One recall addresses a potential leak from the powertrain control module. Given these factors, a thorough pre-purchase inspection is non-negotiable.

Critical Failure Risk

Reports of unintentional release of the electronic parking brake, particularly in manual transmission variants, posing a rollaway hazard. This is the most frequent complaint.

Early detection can help you avoid a $800-$1,500 repair.
